How do you change keel rollers on a calkins trailer? i noticed there are press fittings on each side. do you just smash one side with a hammer and push the other side out? and buy new press fittings?
 
Yep, you got it. They are just pushed on, so you can just push or pull them through from the other side. Whatever works depending on access and the size of your hammer! I think I pried mine off with a screwdriver. It's easier with a large hammer!
 
I used a chisel and broke them off and replaced them. I tried to pull them off and hammer them off. They were on there pretty tight.
